[Jelly]
Taste is a primary sense through which we experience Japanese jelly. Since Japanese jelly is made largely from agar gelatin - traditionally a healthy Japanese staple diet - we are able to savor the distinctive flavour of its natural ingredients with the skill of an artisan - thus, "the art of five senses".

[Candy]
In ancient times, sugar was used in its liquid form as an important ingredient for cooking food. In Edo period (1600-1868), sugar began to be used in its solid form, as in a candy, and it served a significant dietary role for the people of those days. Either its shape or its flavour may stir the imagination of the old Japanese ways.

[Chocolate]
The relationship between Japanese and chocolate can be traced to a documentation which claims that chocolate was first introduced into Japan in 1797.It was originally imported as a type of western sweet and its history says that the main ingredient of chocolate, cacao was prohibited from being imported into Japan at one time during the war. Since then, chocolate has been a familiar and certainly a most popular item in Japan.

[Cookie]
In the 16th century,"cookies"as known today in Japan were introduced as "namban-gashi" - translated as "southern barbarian sweets", which is a name that refers to the early Portuguese visitors. Since their introduction, cookies have been successful in Japan as they contain dessert like qualities of the Western culture. The reason for its success is due to the high quality flavour of wheat flour and vegetable used in the production of cookies – compared to Okaki and Senbei which are made from rice. Cookies made from high quality wheat and vegetable base nurture a good taste which is very familiar to the Japanese connoisseurs of cookies.
